Former Baltimore Ravens safety Ed Reed was announced as part of the 2019 Pro Football Hall of Fame class Feb. 2, joining former teammates Jonathan Ogden (2013) and Ray Lewis (2018) as first-ballot Hall of Famers.
Reed is a nine-time Pro Bowler, the 2004 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and a member of the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. In the wake of the Hall of Fame announcement, two of his former teammates spoke highly not of his skills or accomplishments, but of his personality and leadership on and off the field.
Former Ravens fullback Ovie Mughelli played with team from 2003-2006, earning second-team All-Pro honors in the final year. He recalled one of his first interactions with Reed during training camp as a rookie in 2003.
